Little Space

Jimin was walking down the street to their apartment. He had run to the store to grab some groceries for dinner. As he was rounding a corner, he nearly stepped on a cat. Jimin reflexively jumped over the poor thing to not to hurt it. The cat looked up at him, confused. The small animal wrapped around Jimin's legs, purring. It was a white kitten with random darker gray patches spread along the fur and it had a dark spot on the very tip of its pink nose.

Jimin smiled and bent down, petting the cat. "Hey, little kitty. Are you lost? You look like my Yoongi hyung." The cat lifted its head and brushed Jimin's hand. Jimin pet it behind the ears once more. "I'll see you later, little kitty."

Jimin tried to keep walking, but the cat just followed him.

"No, no, kitten. You stay here." Jimin walked forward, only for the cat to follow him once more.

He looked down sternly at the kitten, hands on his hips. "You gotta stay here, little kitty! I can't bring you home. Yoongi hyung would kill me!"

The cat looked at him and tilted its head to the side. It meowed adorably at Jimin.

Jimin slipped into little space quite suddenly. He scooped the kitten up, who purred loudly at the contact.

"Listen here, Mister! You're gonna get me in a lot of trouble, so you better be the best kitty cat ever."

Jimin carried the stray cat home, hiding it in his sweatshirt through the lobby. He walked towards his apartment and opened the door.

"Daddyyyy~" he called. He closed the door and kept the cat in his sweatshirt for now.

Yoongi got up from the couch the minute he heard Jimin calling him. He nearly jogged over ot the front door. "Yes, baby boy?"

"I got Daddy a present," Jimin giggled.

Yoongi tilted his head. He saw a bulge under Jimin's sweatshirt. "What is it, baby?"

"Daddy can't get mad, okay?" Jimin asked, eyes wide. "Promise?"

Yoongi nodded. "Just show Daddy, baby."

Jimin smiled excitedly and pulled out the kitten from his sweatshirt. Yoongi's jaw dropped as the animal jumped out of Jimin's arms and onto the carpet, rubbing itself around Yoongi's ankles.

"Jiminie... What the fuck..." he mumbled, awe-struck by the cat.

"Isn't he cute, Daddy?! I met him on the street! He's a stray and he's so so cute and I love him so much! Can we keep him, Daddy?" Jimin rubbed his palms together in front of his face pleadingly.

Yoongi looked from the cat to Jimin's eyes. "Jimin, we can't—"

Jimin begged him, his pouty lip coming out to play. "B-But, Daddy, I love him! Please, Daddy. I'll take care of him and I'll play with him and he'll keep me safe when you aren't here! He reminds me of youuu~ Daddyyyy."

Yoongi looked at him sadly. "Fine," he sighed. He bent down and patted the cat's soft head. "He's cute, I guess. But nothing compared to my Jimin."

Jimin smiled and kissed Yoongi. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Daddy! I love you so so so much! I'll even let you name him!"

Yoongi sighed. "Let me think about it, Jiminie. But we need to get stuff for this damn thing."

Jimin giggled and hugged Yoongi. "Let's go get stuff, Daddy! Please, pleaseeee~"

"Alright, alright," Yoongi agreed. "Go put the cat in the bathroom, we'll go quickly."

Jimin was playing with Syub on the floor. He was using one of those string mouse toys, letting the cat run around excitedly. A litter box was added to their bathroom and a cat bed was added in the corner of their living room. Syub would meow at Jimin every once in awhile, to which Jimin would laugh and pet him.

Yoongi looked down at Jimin, smiling at how much Jimin seemed to love the pitiful kitten. Yoongi never liked cats, but this one was kind of growing on him. Jimin picked up the cat and sat on the couch next to Yoongi. After he kissed Yoongi's cheek, Jimin placed Syub between them. The cat curled up on the cushion. Yoongi reached out to pet the cat hesitantly. The cat purred and curled up against Yoongi's side.

"Daddy, he likes you," Jimin said. Yoongi smiled and kissed the younger again.

Yoongi guessed he could deal with the cat as long as it made Jimin happy.
